Summary

Description
English: Diagram of the inscriptions of the Liver of Piacenza (TLE 719).

The arrangement of the lettering is reproduced with an Etruscan Unicode font; it's a transcription and does not directly imitate the shape or placement of the individual letters.

Note that many of the readings are highly uncertain and different authors will give different reconstructions. The readings in this particular diagram are those of Alessandro Morandi, Nuovi lineamenti di lingua etrusca, Massari, 1991. (note that they are not taken from the publication directly, but via this pdf document (pp. 63-65) at etruschi-tirseni-velsini.it and need to be verified c.f. also Nancy Thomson De Grummond, Etruscan Myth, Sacred History and Legend (2006), p. 50).
